I'm guessing that the recession has probably a lot to do with the increase in violence.

Thanks Doc. Those are things that media should be doing as you said. The media should be reporting/giving us the consumer all the facts and let us be the judge of it. Except, people like Bill Maher think that the average person is a lepton and has the inability to actively think for oneself. Therefore, needs to be force feed prechewed opinions. I've notice what seems to be more increase in white on black or black on white violence since Obama taken office.

I'm not saying that this guy wasn't a liberal, but who was that guy? Do we know anything about him? Are there any assault charges? Could this have just been a random nut job just being angry? Again, I'm not saying he's couldn't have been a liberal. I'm just skeptical and I don't want to assume that just because he wacked the GOP dude in the face he has to be on the other end of the spectrum. We all know how most liberals will equate assumptions as fact . Why not

Just the fact that an Iranian ship is now enroute shows the true intent. The rest of the Middle East has never given Gaza any aid before (except if you count munitions), all of a sudden Iran decides to send a ship. Another thing was before Gaza was given over to the PA it was rather self-sufficient land. The Israelies built irrigation systems that made Gaza into some excellent farm land. Gaza, also had olive and grape vineyards there which could be used to export. &nb

In Israel, no matter what the land was called has always been Jews living there. Most of the West Bank 'arabs' if they look back in their history have Jewish heritage. I had a bunch of Muslim friends that would light 2 candles on friday evening and have bread and wine. This happening in West Bank (I saw it once with friends in Gaza). When I asked why they did that I would get the same response. My parents did this and there parents did this. Its to remember

Take me to funky town, I heard this one a long time ago and thought that the women back up singers were saying 'Taco Party Taco Party Taco Party'. That's what I came to know the song as and being from the 80s and one hit wonder, I never searched to find out what they were really singing. My plain was to open up a Mexican food restaurant and call it Taco Party and have this play randomly and when played everyone in the store would get free tacos. I put thought into this as a kid.&n

I've been to Gaza. For the most part its a nice place. If you don't mind the occasional harassment from armed militants. If you believe the news what about this whole debacle pertaining to international waters and peace activist. If they slap the word peace/freedom in front of any word it must be truly for peace or freedom. Let's remove ourselves from this current situation and take a look at another.

The only issue I have with Gaza is the lack of religous freedom. I've had some friends killed there because of their religion (this happens in most Arab/Islamic controlled areas though). Gaza is a nice place. I like the food of that region. You can get everything fresh there. Leauki, don't forget about North Korea! The people there are suffering through an oppressive blockade as well. All the people in charge in Gaza and West Bank look like li

Back in the 1920s was when the appliance revolution so to speak started. In 50s and 60s, was when it took off. Many companies learned something from the 20s. In the 20s companies made products that last. Now, when I say last I mean they last. I've seen several appliances from the the late 20s that still work and can be used if they weren't antiques. Most of them have been used, so its not like a lack of use for still working. During the 50s and 60s,

Yes, the US was and still is a predominantly Christian nation, I use to think so, but I'm not so sure anymore that the US is a predominantly Christian nation. From what I see the general tenor of society is no longer Christian, far from it, at least not in the true sense of being Chris
